About Sew Easy
‘Here’s an affordable, achievable dream based of things that are easily available’
— ELLE DECORATION
You can experience true domestic bliss with SEW EASY, a book of simple but stylish soft-furnishing ideas and handy hints for the home, which will bring a fashionable retro feel to your surroundings.
The book contains over 60 simple sewing projects for delightful home furnishings and accessories, such as cushions, curtains and bed linens, that provide a much-needed touch of comfort without making you a slave to the sewing machine.
It includes irresistibly simple ideas for everything from a frilled cotton cushion, a comfy denim bean bag and a summer patchwork duvet to a ribbon and rick-rack-trimmed tablecloth and a roomy canvas beach bag.
Clearly explained and illustrated, the book gives instructions for each project using accessible diagrams for cutting, sewing and finishing.
